Abstract
In the article by M. G. Mustafa published in Phys. Rev. C 72, 014905 (2005) the author has estimated
the total energy loss of a charm quark and quenching of hadron spectra due to the collisional energy loss of
energetic partons in an expanding quark-gluon plasma employing Fokker-Planck equation. We wish to point
out through this Comment that some of conceptual and numerical results of the said paper are unreliable.
For the sake of clarity our discussion will focus on the massless case (although a few remarks on the m 6= 0
case are also made).

General remarks
The said paper by Mustafa [1] and an earlier article by Mustafa and Thoma [2] were aimed at
expanding further the pioneering works by Baier et al., [3] and Mu?ller [4] on the important phe-
nomenon of jet quenching, i.e., the suppression of hadronic spectra produced by partons (having
large transverse momentum) which suffer sizable energy loss while traveling in a hot and dense
quark-gluon plasma. Refs. [1, 2] attempted to fulfil this aim by explaining the relevant physical
mechanisms, recalling the expressions of collisional radiative energy loss rates predicted by
finite-temperature QCD, setting up a Fokker-Planck transport equation for massless or massive
partons, solving the partial differential equation analytically by using Fourier transform together
with the method of characteristics, and plotting the predicted que
